Hughton, who could be without 10 senior players, said: “We have to be realistic enough to know it’s going to be a tough task. Sheffield Wednesday are a very good. Offensively, they have got players who can hurt you, but it is something that can be achieved.

“It will be an uphill task, but we know what’s at stake. We have got to at least score two goals. It will be mostly about the mindset and seeing which players are available.”

“It’s a cup final,” added the former Newcastle United and Norwich City boss. “There was a great atmosphere at Hillsborough and we will try to create the same at the Amex and try to make it a night to remember.

“There certainly won’t be one player in that dressing room who won’t be up for it and who’t won’t believe we can do it.”
